My neighbor has an outdoor wood boiler at least 150' from my house, and insists on running it all year because he is too cheap to heat his hot water with electricity in the summer.
The chimney is only a few feet high and the prevailing winds bring his smoke directly into my bedroom windows at least 3 days a week ALL YEAR LONG.
Imagine being sound asleep and being woke up thinking your house is on fire...I am not kidding. Sometimes it is so bad when the fire is choked off that I can't even see across the road for 3-5 minutes.
Neighbor feels this is OK and not his problem, once the smoke leaves his yard he isn't responsible. I can't express how much this pi$$es me off...my only recourse is to make a complaint to the city but this will certainly cause a rift between us which could cause more problems.
Wish at least a 15' high chimney was mandatory for wood boilers.
